Balkanization is the best we can hope for - I've been saying it for years. Now, imagine if it could be done peacefully and bloodlessly. That's the rub.

The rub indeed.

I'm not certain that can be done. The country is diametrically opposed. What the other side wants is not sustainable if we want to preserve our constitutional republic.

Unfortunately, as history demonstrates, factions that want two very different things, usually doesn't end peacefully.

Hope I'm wrong....we'll see.

Part of the problem is the red states have things the blue states want. It would not be a friendly divorce. And they would likely refuse to even consider secession. It would indeed be a second Civil War, but I'm not sure it's avoidable at this point. God help us.

there are almost no blue "states." there is merely a red country with a handful of blue city-states that are controlling everything. and all of those blue city-states are shit holes.
